A fact from The Holy Land, Syria, Idumea, Arabia, Egypt, and Nubia appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 7 February 2020 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
The following is an archived discussion of the DYK nomination of the article below. Please do not modify this page. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as this nomination's talk page, the article's talk page or Wikipedia talk:Did you know), unless there is consensus to re-open the discussion at this page. No further edits should be made to this page.
... that David Roberts' The Holy Land, a collection of 250 "orientalist" lithographs (example pictured), was the most pervasive 19th century rendering of the East circulated in the West? Source: Wharton, Annabel Jane (15 August 2006). Selling Jerusalem: Relics, Replicas, Theme Parks. University of Chicago Press. p. 162. ISBN978-0-226-89422-5.: "Roberts's lithographic series has proved to be the most pervasive and enduring of the nineteenth-century renderings of the East circulated in the West."
Discussion: Suggested wording changes:
* ... that David Roberts's set of The Holy Land lithographs were the most pervasive 19th century renderings of the East circulated in the West? -- and change the caption to state it's of The Holy Land set?* ... that David Roberts's set of The Holy Land "orientalist" lithographs were the most pervasive 19th century renderings of the East circulated in the West? -- and change the caption to state it's of The Holy Land set?
Other comments:
The Roberts' travels and publication section is not cited. Added
It would be nice to crop some of the images in the article. I am happy to help with that... I went ahead and cropped a few to start. Done
I was a bit confused which image in the DYK nomination was in the mass of images, is it possible to have the caption have the same caption in the article? And, add as mentioned above that it's part of "The Holy Land" series? I got "The Holy Land" series from the source (page before the quote you provided). Done. I have amended the hook with your suggestions, plus a slight modification. I also amended the caption. I think making the caption the same as for the article ("Mosque of Omar, on the ancient site of the Temple") might be too long though.
I made some minor edits, see what you think, and added a clarification tag on one sentence. I am not understanding the total sentence, particularly "self-confidence" on... it might need to be broken into a couple of sentences. Fixed
@Onceinawhile: Uh oh, I was just looking at the hook, not the article, and now I see some of the words have been pulled from the source without quoting. Either you could add quotes, or do some paraphrasing, like:
@Onceinawhile: Replacing tick. I spent a long time looking through the gallery for the black figure in the foreground, but on my screen, about one third of each image is obscured by the caption. Can you do anything about that? Cwmhiraeth (talk) 14:13, 31 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, per [1] there are a variety of modes. I quite like the current version because the text is important and it needs to be packed in. Alternatively the Slideshow mode could be interesting. Onceinawhile (talk) 21:03, 31 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, Onceinawhile, for starting this (great!) article!
I just wonder about linking to tif-files? The tif-files are much bigger (=uncompressed) compared with the jpg files. I just noted that the article takes a lot of time to load, and I wondered if that was the reason, Huldra (talk) 21:16, 1 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
